Some thoughts on JP:
I’d first like to say that I do feel, disappointed when he falls into another mud pit. But what did I expect, perfection? Especially at his level of the battle? It is always difficult to put myself in the position of criticizing JP for the obvious reasons, yet as an observer here, I think bouncing ideas off of one another is worthwhile. With these new developments the question arises: Is he still working through his “blind-spots”, or has he been co-opted?
Some people are more malleable than others:
Many of the icons throughout history were who they were pretty much throughout their time in the spotlight, if not their whole life. And some morphed through their saga.
Jack Kennedy was pretty much “Jack” as a young man, and as a skipper in WWII, and then the presidency. He changes some, but, by in large, he was always “Jack” and that was a good thing.
Bobby Kennedy on the other hand, started out as a bellicose fighter for Justus. Starting fights with powerful people at every angle, without the understanding of what repercussions they might cause. And he was willingly involved in plotting the assignation of a president of a sovern country. Then life happened, and he began to change. The Bobby of his final years was not the Bobby of the late 50s anymore. He had changed. He even came to have sympathy for Che Guevara and others involved in political change.
Young John Lennon was known for slurs against ethnic people, disabled people, and homosexuals. Not to mention knocking people down and kicking them in the head. Then life happened and the John of his final years was quite different. He changed right in front of our eyes.
The younger Peter the Great was easy to admire. The latter Peter the Great…not so much. He had changed.
Now JP:
JP has a few issues, so do I, but he is now a spectacle on the world stage being dissected for all to see. And that kind of intensity and exposure can exacerbate one’s weaknesses.
IMO Jordan is an authoritarian follower by nature. And has been molded by the education industry to reject out of hand ANY conspiracy theory. Which puts him at a disadvantage. But he is changing. E.g. Let’s forget the homework and do whatever the doctor says…Doah! I’m off to get my vaxx now (trusting the doctors again) …opps, stupid me! Putin is a thug! Spoken with vitriol…then in a normal voice, a few weeks later, you know I can see Putin’s dilemma, we should talk to him. And I guess there will be more changing to come.
Milo Yiannopoulos said of JP in a podcast a few years back. Paraphrased. No Jordan, I don’t think you are an iconoclast. You love the system. You just want to be known for correcting it, and take your place as the savior, and be ensconced as one of them. (I think there is some truth to that)
JP’s son said to him before speaking in Amsterdam, just stick to what you know and you’ll be ok, stick to what you know! (I think the son knows his fathers’ proclivities to wander out of his domain)
It’s been said to not judge the wine by the vessel it is served in. If a chipped glass stops you from enjoying the host’s best wine… you lose. God has a way of confounding the proud.
JP may have co-opted himself or become co-opted in the future, but we’ll see. Even if he completely falls on his sword, I’m still keeping the good-wine, and will hope for his recovery. And as for the masses? There isn’t much hope for them anyway…narrow path where few will pass comes to mind.
I think he's, sadly, losing the plot.
Just had a conversation with my wife and we're seeing him become somewhat unhinged in his defense of everything western civilization supposedly stands for.
I'm fascinated with the cognitive dissonance between his criticism of the woke ideology and his defense of western cultural heritage that gave rise to it.
Does he not see that the hyper materialism that gradually crept into the very foundations of western thought is exactly what created the woke and the radical left?
My wife heard his daughter say that he's writing a book that attempts to prove the existence of God. I wonder how he intends to go about that while still expressing full confidence in the theory of evolution.
His arguments would be greatly enhanced if he would read more widely and outside the norms od academia, and that goes for almost every topic that he touches upon.
And touching upon his daughter, she appears to be a true impostor with her general lack of intellectual sophistication and her obsession with her appearance.
It seems like she is the one that pushed him into the spotlight much further than he was ready to venture, all for the sake of money.
Kinda feel like she's the primary vector for the hyperdimensional negative influence that's apparently being exerted upon JP.
All conjecture, of course, but that's what it looks like to me.
I'm pretty much completely disinterested with anything either of them have to say anymore. Feels like JP has said all that he had to say and now he's just repeating himself over and over again, becoming a caricature of himself in the process.
Even when he talks to other people with interesting ideas and information, he talks too much and doesn't really seem to listen. Rather, he always brings the point back to something he likes to talk about which is basically beating a dead horse, over and over again.
As for his daughter, she obviously had a nose job (which she is lying about by gaslighting her audience), she's starting to get a serious case of duck face, and her go-to phrase is 'aw, that's interesting' followed by her next prepared question.
I hope that JP will see the light at some point but I'm afraid he's been fully coopted through money and fame, and now he's under control of the Daily Wire which is the definition of controlled opposition and gatekeeping.
